I went ahead and followed documentation on the VirtualBox Forum to fork the current VirtualBox Source. I believe that I have resolved all of the installation errors that were due to errors in the packaging and obsolescence of packages in the Ubuntu Release I am running on. i have not attempted to install this package because it will require me to Uninstall the supported version of VirtualBox. I will shutdown for now to await answers to past clarification questions. I need answers to What is the proper way to obtain Verbose Logging in VirtualBox? Do I need to Fork The VirtualBox Source in order to use the Patch code sent to my via URL?
An additional question clarifying the quote below, Is there a code change required to the Patch because of the "prevent swap" comment? If the answer is Yes, I need specific editing instructions on the code that needs to be changed or if you send me the modified version, I can try and assemble it. "since it hardcode ad1980 on a dell machine, *you may need patch in alsa* *driver* to prevent the swap of the master playback volume/switch and headphone playback volume/switch" Again, I am not proceeding with any further testing or implementation of the Forked Testing environment without answers to above questions.
